Hi ladies

Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I was diagnosed with endo metriosis in sep 2011 after years of being told its "normal period pains" Got told i had endo on bowel, bladder and endometrioma on right ovary. Surgeon removed eno on bladder and ovary but left bowel as he didnt want to "make a hole in my bowel". Also had mirena fitted as wasnt planning a baby at that time. Fast to now and been trying for baby since dec 2012.

Went back for 2nd laproscopy on 12th may this year. Found endo hiding behind both ovaries, on abdominal wall, liagaments of womb and near to bowel (found in 2011 lap).

All endo removed except near to bowel. They also put dye in tubes cos of fertility issues. Now found a bicoranate womb. Got a hysterscope booked for july. Wondering why this wasnt picked up at last lap, loads of scans or during c-section on 2002. Im now 41 and worried that any chance of another child are practically Non existant. Anyone else in my situation?

Many thanks ladies

Hi Lindle

Ive been using ovulation tests and generally ovulate around day 21 of 28 day cycle.

Ive looked into the bicoranate womb and it does have different degrees - a little dip to full separate wombs. Im guessing thats why im having the hysterscopy. My gynae thinks thats why my son was breech thro all pregnancy. Im being seen by a gynae consultant who has specialities in endo and laproscopy not in endo unit.

Thanks for your help. Ive been making a list of questions for my gynae when i see him next so thats another thing to bring up with him.

Ive got people around me who get pregnant easily telling me- "well you got pregnant before it'll happen again". It gets so damn depressing at times. My current partner has no children and sometimes i feel like ending the relationship so he can have them with somebody else. Sorry to go on.

Only been referred to gynae in 2011 cos of pain. Then was discharged as had mirena and not trying for baby then. Knew it would take a while for period to settle after mirena taken out.

Got referred this time in aug 2014 cos of pain and not catching. They havent really asked about cycle and ovulation. Went to private ivf clinic in jan 2014 haf amf blood test done and they said it was better than what they expect for being 40. Been saving up for ivf since then as not entitled to ivf on nhs x
